Possible bad news, Bat-fans.
While Batman Vs. Superman is confirmed to have a presence on the floor of the New York Comic-Con with a LexCorp booth, the speculated “major announcement” teased by producer Michael Uslan from a few days ago may not actually be Batman-related.
Michael Uslan, who has been a producer on every Batman movie, told USA Today last Friday that a major announcement is coming at the NYCC on Saturday at 1:45pm.
As DC is holding a Batman panel around the same time, many online (us included) speculated the announcement to possibly be related to the rumored Ben Affleck solo Batman movie.
However, now it’s learned Michael Uslan is actually a part of a THUNDER Agents panel that takes place Saturday at 1:45pm.
Of course, it’s always possible something Batman Vs. Superman could still be announced at the DC Batman panel, with Uslan simply not being in attendance.
Here is the official info sent out by WB regarding THUNDER Agents:
Saturday, 10/9
1:45PM to 2:45PM – T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents panel
Room 1A24
Panelists:
Michael Uslan, producer
David Uslan, producer
Olav Kjørven, Director of Public Partnerships, UNICEF
